The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex tending the well-known iron ship-building establishmenties t of Mes: rs. Martin , amue lson and Co., of Hull. The cap abi li of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom -they occupy 11 acres of ground. with water frontage to the river Humber and river Hull, having a depth of water of 30 feet. The present iron rhip-building power of the establishment is equal to the construction of 20,00 d tons per annum, at which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs. Samuelson and L.opany have orders on hand for ships ex ceeding 20,00 tons; other large orders are offered, and it is proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present y ird, and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company eve secured, so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand tor ships, and to ereA rolling mills for the manufacture of the iron required for ship buil,ing, as well as for all kinds of railway and engineer,ng works. In addition to the engineering works, foundry, and ship buildieg yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of the largest class. This is a highly profitable p art o the busi ness. The demand for the use of this patent slip has been such that it has ne constructed itver been unempat a loyecons d since ide ra llle ble cost some ssrs. Samuel s n and Company years ago. The situation of this establisves itecial advan tages over others of a like characthmenter. The pri e s o p f ship-build ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship building ports of the kingdom; it is in the great iron district o f Yorkshire; coal is c hea p , railway s run into the w orks, and connuct them with all parts of England. Freights are very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of Hull olers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions. all at Two thousand workmen are now•employed at the works. The present orders in ha nd for ships, eennes, and general eng i n eering work amount to abov e £300,00, very mu nerative prices. Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that alter making large allowances -3) per cent. off the capabilities of the woras, the trade will, with the judicious management and employment of the capital, return a dividend of 20 per cent. and upwards to the sbareholders, and if the works continue to be fully employed, a much larger amount. Tha te!ms of 1 urchase are highly advantageous ; the plant and machinery, buildings, freehold and leasehold premises, together with al the stock of materials, are to b.. taken at the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual way.

The completion- thitit works at the Delhi end of the line, had been im peded by considerations as to route, and in respect of the point of junction with the Punjanb line. The original course of the line had been altered by the Government, and it was now to go through the centre of the Doab between two rivers in the direc tion of Delhi. The Panjaub line had also been altered so that both lines should enter Delhi. now alterations of route had caused great delay in finish-, ing the third great bridge, involving considerable expense to the company. Tho works on the Jub• buleore line were proceeding very satisfactorily, and there was every reason to believe that the line would be completed by the contract time in 1866. From information they had received, there was no doubt the works would he completed on the Jabbulpore line to its junction with the Bombaylt olwey at Jab bulpore, and be ready for exchenging tr:-ffic with the Great Indian Peninsula Company when they could meet them wi.h their line. lie teen Reverted to tee working of the line (luting the peel year, and thought the result was very setiefactory. Tee gi oss receipts of the two Hoes in the upper and tower provinces amounted for the year 1863 to £9d0,000, being at the rate of £2O lOs 8d per mile per week. The net receipts, after deducting working ex penses amounted to £439,464, or an average of £o 2s. 63. per mile per week. He then drew attene tion to the effect of filling up the link between Allahabad and llenares. He had frequently stated that when the railway was opened throughout their returns would show a largo increase. The average for the whole year of the gross receipts of the Ben gal division was £23 7s 9d per mile per week. week. Since the let of January last the returns showed that for the week ending the 10th of January the average receipt per mile was £29 8s; ending the 17th of January, £3O 16s 4d per mile ; ending the 24th of January, £32 lls 4d per mile; and for the week ending the 31st of January, £3! lOs ld per mile. This was ono of the immediate effects of opening the line throughout, raising the average receipts per mile from £23 7s 9d for 1863 to £34 10s Id for the last week in January. On their other line, in the North-West Provinces, the average receipt per mile per week was £l5 7s 6d during 1863, and for this line they had the returns a month later. The receipts per mile per week for the four weeks in February last were at the rate of £2O 2s I Id, £2l lOs /d, £24, and £26 19s 4d re spectively, showing a similar result in the upper provinces. So far he thought he might congratu late the shareholders on the opening of the line throughout. He believed the present traffic was an earnest of what they should have eventually. With the increase of traffic it was very desirable they should have economy of working. The cost of car rying the traffic had considerably increased; it arose in some respects from carrying a very large amount of traffic over a single line. There was another reason in the large amount they paid for wages to Europeans. Every engine -driver must bo a European. The wages they gave were £lB a month, which was double the amount paid in Europe. When they considered that less work was done for the money, the cost of sending men out to India, and other matters, the average cost of European labour in India was 5 to 1 in England. In the revenue account of the Bengal division they would perceive that £86,000 had been expended on the locomotive de partment, which was 25 per cent. of the working expenses. Of that amount £38,000 was for wages of enginedrivera and cleaners. The expenditure had engaged the serious consideration of the Board, and they had called the attention of their officers to the subject. Again, in the revenue account of the rail way in the North-West Provinces, there was a heavy charge for fuel—£4l,ooo, or about 33 per cent of the total expenses. Of that sum £21,000 was the cost of coal, coke, and wood. This included a charge for loss of weight in wood fuel, which be longed to the previous half year. This item brought him to a point in reference to the alternative lino proposed a long time since by the Board for passing through a district of country containing valuable coal deposits, with the view of supplying their en gines with excellent coal. The Government at last had consented to adopt the directors' view. The line of country would open the route to Patna. Three routes from, their main line to the coal deposits had • been surveyed by their engineers, and he supposed by the end of the year tho Government would come to some decision as to the route. It would shorten the distance for carrying through traffic by nearly 100 miles, and save the expense of doubling the circuitous portion of the main line between the points of junction with the proposed new line. They had not yet disposed of their large flotilla, as it was not easy to find purchasers. If out of the £684,000 expended on those vessels and their machinery they should be able to place a comparatively small sum to the credit of capital, the rest would be amply covered by the advantage already gained of being enabled to complete the line so much sooner by the aid of the flotilla than they possibly could without it. The establishment of the audit department in. India had realised all their anticipations as to the satisfactory audit of the accounts. Nothing was ex pended without the sanction of the Government offi cer, and the interests of the shareholders were pro tected. He believed the statement of the accounts was a fair and faithful record of what was done in India. There was also an audit committee, consist ing of members of the Board, to examine every.. thing. They had a bill now before Parliament which would be submitted to the proprietors for their approval at the proper time, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords. They sought power in it to alter the times of hold ing the annual and half-yearly meetings, holding them a month or two later to give time for the pre paration of the accounts. They proposed to esta blish a savings-bank for their army of servants in India, which he had no doubt would be of great advantage to them. They also proposed to ask for power to raise seven millions of additional capital, which, with the 20 millions already authorised, and three millions borrowing power, would make an even sum of 30 millions. The cost of the lino and works from various circumstances had been much greater than was originally anticipated. The price of materials and labour had since they commenced greatly increased in amount. Had Government permitted the terminal station at Howrah two or three years ego to be en larged to accommodate the immense traffic in the manner propped by the directors, a considerable saving in the cost would have been effected; and this was also the case with regard to the delay of other necessary works. The traffic on the line had reached £34 per mile per week, and the directors were now anxious to provide ample station accom modation and working stock to earn £4O per mile per week, This rendered a large portion of the proposed additional capital necessary. The effeeta of the great changes in the economy of India h a d been to enlarge its resources, and if the railw ay company intended to realise the adva n t age of a large traffic on their line they must provide the means of carrying and accommodating it in every respect. Mr. MORGAN said if they wore to realise more than the 5 per cent. guarantee the working expenses must be reduced from 60 per cent. to something like 50 per cent., and if they were to pay a large divi dend they must secure the coal traffic. Mr. lIARTRIDGE wished to know whether the cost of the new live intended to pass through the coal deposits was incl u d e d in the proposed £7,000,000 of additional capital, The CHAIRMAN said t h ey had put down £2,600,000 for that purpose, an d £1,000,000 for doubling a portion of the main line. The report was unanimously adopted; the retir ing directors and auditors were re-elected, and Mr. Godfrey was elected an auditor.

The weather underwent a greet change on Wednesday evening, and ou Thursday it was so cold that visitors to the Heath required their overcoat., Notwithstanding the threatening appearance of the cloths, the attendance on the One Thousand day, though it world bear no comparison to Tuesday, was quite equal to that of ‘ prevlous years, and greatly in excess of that of any other day excepting the Two Thousand. After the closinglf the Telegraph office on Wednesday night, some importantehanges occurred in the betting on the One,Thousand, Chester Cup, and Derby. For the first-mentioned race Gazza ladra finished decidedly favourite, as little as 4 to 1 being 140ked at the close, Mas querade and Sardinia finding sunerters at C to 1, whilst Molly Carew declined to 7 to 1, ant Tool Tool to 100 to 8. Blair Athol was backed for the Derby to win upwards of £25,000 at all prices, from 28 to , down to 13 to 1, and Bacchus was brought from the °Ueda price of 25 to 1 to 15 to 1, at which latter price he was freely sup ported for the Chester Cup, and Little Stag at 100 to 8, and Oldminister at 20 to 1, eft received substantial support for the Rhoodee event. Prior to moving for the Heath this morning, speculation upon the Ono Thousand was carried on with animttion. Masquerade re turned to first favourite, Gazza Lade, being driven to 6 to 1, whilst 5 to 1 was taken about Sardinia, 7 to 1 about Sis ter to Drake, 7 to 1 offered eget Moly Carew, 10 to 1 agst Tool Tooi, and 100 to 8 agst Tomato. Beyond several 100's to 6 and 100's to 7 being accepted bout Beckey Sharpe. n othing of the outside lot were supported. The morning speculation on the Chester Cup contested of 500 to 20 each a gst Tippler and My Mary (taken), Whilst the highest offer eget Bacchus was 100 to 8. The cAcl for this day corn prised eight races inclusive of a match, and the overnight our return given below will indicate , en tries were as numerous as any of he preceding days, as C omm encing at 1,30 and concluding at 5 o'clock, there W 55 a busy afternoon pro vided for the " metalliciane," and betti ng on the various pr i nc ipal contest, which was appointed for three o'clock. As events to decide was most spirited , mote particularly on the already mentioned, the crowd was by to means so great as on 'I uesday , nevertheless there was a very large assemblage of spectators, and double rows of carriages, equestriaus,and p e d es trians lined each side of the ropes and the " run in." Unlike the glorious weather of Tu esday, the atmosphere continued cloudy and cold during the sport, except towards , the conclusion, when the sun broke out ; but it was only a transient gleam, and the cold gloom returned. The racing as, With the exception ' o o f f t t h h e e day admits Thousand, of l theit lo comment,events w 0 re of an cha racter. The success of Vivid , ho we ver , in the Plate ordinary a flO over the Rowley Mile, beating such clippers as Wingrave, Gem e Wrench —A-0., caus e d f res h i rr itation ench fil:y fo r th e Tw o Thou sand ; as prior to the race on Tuesday it had been con stantly asserted that Fills de l' Air cculd accomplish won ders with Vivid. It is a remarkable fact, but Jenning's favourites never win when supported by the public. The One Thousand Guineas created a deal of interest among the speculators, and in the betting ring the New market Oaks evidently gave rise to some spirited specula tion. Little alteration was noticeable in the tone of the market at the finish. Sardinia left off favourite at 7to 2, while 5 to 1 was booked about Masquerade and MollyCarew, who were in favour, and towards the close advanced to 6 to 1, and in certain cases less odds were accepted. Tomato ranked next, but about her as such as 10 to 1 could always be obtained, and being by no means heavily supported, she was a comparative outsider. The race was preceded by several failures, caused chiefly by the intractability of Gazza Ladra and Goldylocks; indeed the latter, who possesses a notorious temper, once or twice bolted out of the course. Every feature of the race will be found described below, but we may chronicle with satisfaction the fact that Baron Rothschild's two fillies, Tomato and Brun, finished first and second, which was received with as many demonstra tions of enthusiasm as General Peel's victory, the Baron being one of the most princely supporters of Newmarket and a lover of the national pastime in all its purity and dig nity. Singularly enough, in the Ono Thousand last year Lord Stamford achieved a parallel triumph, his lordship's fillies, Lady Augusta and Flying Fish, having it will be remembered finished first and second. The favourites were thoroughly beaten, and we believe there was no excuse for their defeat except Molly Carew's, as Harry Grimshaw, her jockey, alleged that Masquerade cannoned against her, and that upwards of four lengths were lost thereby. The racing was concluded at 5 o'clock, and the company left the heath , cold and cheerleas, awl to add to the cliscrorogns, tuck clouds of fine dust had to be ridden through on the return into the town. ito following are details of the running : A.

Tho start was preceded by several failures, prominent in the breaks away being G oldylocks,an unmanageable animal, Beckey Sharpe, and Lord Glasgow's pair. Goldylocks was very unruly, and on one occasion ran a long distance out of the Course. When the 15 runners appeared in sight, Beckey Sharpe on the extreme left of everything, and Linda in the middle of the horses, were slightly in front, close up with the latter mare on either side being Molly Carew, Rouge Crosse, the Baron's two, Gazza Ladra, and Sister to Drake, Sardinia, Goldylocks, and Toni Tooi being well up. Half a mile from home Beckey Sharpe gave way, and Linda, Breeze, and Molly Carew drew away from the rest, these three being closely followed by Tomato and Tooi Tool. Ap proaching the cords, Molly Carew, wbo had throughout run unkindly, evinced symptoms of distress, and thereupon Tomato went to the front, and coming away a distance from home she won easily by two lengths. Baron Roths child's other starter, Breeze, was second, three-quarter's of a length in advance of Tooi Tool. Masquerade and Linda were fifth and sixth, Sister to the Drake seventh, and Sar- dinia eighth.

Yesterday in Lord Stanley's Committee on the Metropolitan Railways the evidence of Sir C. Fox was finished relative to the engineering features of the proposed new lines at Battersea of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, after which Mr. Holroyd, one of the directors of the company, was examined by Mr. Itodwell and Mr. Somerset upon the general details of the undertaking, and the case for the promoters of the bill closed, alter some fur ther evidence from Mr. Forbes. The Case for the competing lines of the London and South-Western Company at Battersea was then opened. It is pro posed to construct a railway of 711 chains at Bat tersea to connect that company's Richmond line with the West London Extension Railway, and to carry out a diversion of the existing branch of the West London Extension Railway, which joins the company's main line near Falcon-bridge at Batter sea, the works to be completed within three years Agreements are to be entered into between the com pany and the West London Extension and the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Companies with respect to the construction, use, and truffle of the intended line at Battersea. The company propose to raise for the purpose £24,000 on share capital, and £B,OOO by mortgage. A committee, Sir F. Goldsmid in the chair, met to consider the proposed Est Nor folk Rrilway. 'l'no case was opened by Mr. Mere wethcr, Q.C., the witnesses examined in its favour being Lord Wodehouse, Lord Suffield, and other landowners. Mr. Bidder, C.E., deccrih:d the line, which is oplowd by Mr. Venubles for the lions and other intereAe. The b.ll for the Knot End and Garstang Railway was parsed. After baying previously passed tho bill of the London and North-Western for extending and improving their truffle arrangements between Eogland and Ire land, the committee of which Mr. Braille is chair men decided on clauses giving the same facilities for traffic with Irish railway and steam navigation companies to the railway companies and other intetcsts opposing. Mr. Piercy was examined on the engineering merits of the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Bill, and further general evidence occupied tho committee on the Great Northern extension from Lincoln to Bourn. The committee of which the Duke of Devonshire is chairman passed the Stokes Bay Railway and Pier Bill, but intimated that they were not in a position to decide relative to the subscription contract. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. Yesterday a special meeting of thc proprietors was held at tho Waterloo Station—Captain Mangles in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said there were altogether 15 bills —four only of which, however, were promoted by the company. The other 11 were introduced by other companies, and in which provisions were con tained conferring powers on or having clauses affecting the London and South-Western Company. Only four of the bills could bo dealt with by the meeting, as the remainder were not ready. Mr. Burcham, the compan3 's solicitor, then read the heads of a bill to authorise the company to make a railway from Kensington to Richmond, and junc tion lines communicating with the Hammersmith and City Railway and the North and South-Western Junction Railways, and to raise further moneys and to authorise arrangements. Mr. HEREPATII wished to know whether the proposed new lines were calculated to bring them into collision with other companies. The CIIAIRMAN said no, but that on the contrary they were calculated to avert any such eventgality. lie then proposed the approval of the bill, and Mr. DUTTON having seconded it, it was carried unanimously. Mr. Burcham then recited the preamble and clauses of the second bill, which was a bill for authorising the company to make a railway from Chertsey to the Staines and Wokingham Railway at Egham, and for other purposes. Mr. RITCIIINS seconded the approval of the bill, and it was carried unanimously. The next bill was promoted by another company, to authorise certain deviations from the Odkhamp ton lines, and to raise further moneys. Capt. JormsoN seconded the approval of the bill, and it was carried unanimously. The last bill was to authorise the West London Docks and Warehouses Company to execute further works and to make arrangements with other com panies to raise further money. Mr. MoRTIMER seconded the approval of the bill, and it was carried unanimously. The meeting then adjourned to the 12th of May. EAST INDIAN. The 17th annual meeting of this company was herd yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. lt. W. Crawford, NI.P., in the chair. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said it was the 20th occasion on which it had .been his pri vilege and duty to preside at their general meetings, It was a great gratification to him to be able to state that the line from Calcutta to Delhi was open for traffic with the exception of the bridge over the Jurana at Allahabai. They could now take pas sengers over their line from Calcutta to Delhi and vice versa, a distance of 1 ; 020 miles. The progress they had made in the works during the past five years had been very considerable ; they had no means of comparing the vast 'works on their line w►th those in any other country. Ho thought every one must admit that notwithstanding the various difficulties and obstructions thrown in their way from time to time, the progress they had Ina& was very satisfactory. They could not compare the works of any line in England either for magnitude or length of continuous line with their Eiet Indian line, There was not a line on any part of the Con. NEW NOVEL. BY M. E.
